“The MPM program expanded my horizons and perspective on public affairs and understanding of being an effective political staffer. The MPM program convinced me that the best results come from collaboration and a willingness to accept the opinion and viewpoints of others. Through my work as a political staffer and now in the private sector I find myself applying the skills that I obtained through the MPM program. The greatest asset of the MPM program is that it is grounded in reality; from professors to course content the program is practical and real.” – Jamie MacPhail
